Testimonials

Our community is growing and here’s what people have to say about experiences with New England Adventures!

“Today I got to participate in the Spring Trout fishing derby hosted by New England Adventures, I was invited by Sara Becker one of the board members for NEA and close friend, we deployed together and knew I needed to get out and be with good people. I live about 2 hours from the event location and to combat the travel time we stayed with another board member Nate who welcomed me without hesitation. Despite the rain and New England weather we arrive at the event location where almost immediately I was greeted by the NEA president Todd who was so inviting and supportive. Getting home from deployment and ETSIng from the military was harder than I anticipated and I had been struggling, Todd took the time to talk to me and explain his story and show me the amazing community he created for veterans and civilians alike. He knew and remembered every single persons name that showed up to the event (about 75 people). He wanted to get to know you, and truly cared. I couldn’t have asked for a better time and can not wait until I can attend another event. If your looking for and adventure or support or to be a part of an awesome family than look no further than New England Adventures, these are spectacular people so glad to be a part of their community.”

“Your speech that you gave today at the trout derby really sank in. You were so right about us all being family. When my wife Brooke and I were stationed in Japan we were newly married and additionally had a boy on the way and a year later our second. We had no immediate family near by but were lucky enough to have some senior members of our unit invite us over for the holidays and brought us along with the many festivals in Japan. We are still friends with these people today 18 years later. I think I’d be interested in getting info on how I can can be more involved.”

“Had a great weekend with New England Adventures at Woodstock, CT. Was able to enjoy the outdoors with my family and not worry about the minor things like preparing food or setting up shelters. Everything was provided and our only “job” was to enjoy ourselves with fellow vets.

Thank you New England Adventures for our first, but not last, outing with you.”

“We went on the family retreat this weekend out in Woodstock CT. It was a wonderful chance to connect with other military families both for my spouse (veteran) and our children! New England adventures provided everything for a great relaxing weekend. We can not wait to attend another event and see our community again.”

“Just spent 3 days and 2 nights with a great bunch of fellow Veterans. New England Adventures is a non- profit run by Veterans group. I was lucky enough to spend a few days of outdoor camping, bonding with fellow veterans of differing backgrounds, and doing some pheasant hunting as a bonus.

Our host was the Swift River Sportsman’s Club in Belchertown. They raised money from club members for birds and had volunteer dog handlers, they were exceptional, and shared their facilities and knowledge with us.

Thanks to Todd Crevier and his staff of volunteers, veterans themselves, for their dedication and passion for their dream of helping veterans get into the outdoors and enjoying what it has to offer. Todd is the president and founder of the group and the most amazing cook. Up before dawn to prepare breakfast and working until after dark to keep us more than well fed.

Nightly fireside ribbing of missed shots at birds and laughter with the dog handlers and fellow vets…thank you for the opportunity New England Adventures.”

“Thank you so much to New England Adventures and all the staff and volunteers who put together the Deer Camp this year in Otis Ma. This was the first real outing I have been on in nearly four years and the company was the best part. The experience was a ton of sheer joy with life around the camp. Hunting was a side note in comparison to the camaraderie that was shared between the Vets able to attend. Thank you for what you do and stand for, I look forward to more NEA events in the future. See you at the game dinner!”
